DR.. Kelley's .RecantatiOn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November 25.-
The board Of missions of the NJ. p.
Church South met in the Office of the
secretary of the board at the publishing
house at 10 o'clock this morning in re.
sponse to call issued on November 8.
The proceedings of the meetings of the
local members of the board relative to
the treasurer, the Rev. DIR. D. Q. Kelley,
and his utterances regarding the Emma
Abbott episode at the McKendree Church
were harmonious, and after some discus.
sion the following paper was presented
by DR.. Kelley and adopted:
To the members of the Board OF
Missions: Having been informed by
brethren whom trust that my supposed
attitude towards theatres is in the way of
my usefulness as missionary treasurer of
the NJ. Z. Church, South, and that my
published card is not sufficiently explicit
on this subject, now define my position
further. am opposed to any attendance
at theatres by members of our church,
and uphold our ministers in correction of
this evil, BY public and private admoni-
ton, and by patient and kind bue firm
administration. l regret and withdraw
my articles in the american, in so far as
they may be construed to defend the in
terruption of public worship on October
9 at the McKendree Church. I consider
myself to have said heretofore all con
tanned in this paper, but as it is thought
that this statement is clearer and more
easily understood than the statement of
the card, I gladly write and sign this
paper. u. u. KELLEY.

Jones of Edgefleld Free.

EDGEF1ELD, November 2S.-The inde-
fatigable attorneys of R. t. Jones, the
murderer of the three Pressleys, have at
last succeeded in securing his release on
a satisfactory bond for $4,000. At the
August, 1886, term of Court Judge Wal
lace signed an order granting bail to
Jones in the sum of $4,000, requiring,
however, that the bondsmen should
qualify in a sum double that subscribed,
virtually obtaining bond good for
$4,000.
Four Intellectual efforts we're made by
Jones's brother-in-law, T. NJ. Dearmond,
aud others to file bond in accordance
with that order, but they were not able
to give such bond as our conscientious
and efficient clerk of the Court would
accept. Major W. T. Gary came over
from Augusta to>day and appeared before
Clerk Durieso, and after very thorough
examination into the financial standing
of Jones friends, who were anxious to be
considered the agency of Jones' liberia
tion from confinement, bond, which is
good beyond all peradventure, was made
up, and Jones at D O'CLOCK tnlS evening
breathed once more the free mir of
heaven.
The bondsmen are J. H. Edwards, in
the sum of $4,000. Mr.. Edwards showed
to the satisfaction Of the clerk that be
was worth over $4,000. Elbert Hite for
800. The tax returns shows that MIR.
Hite has returned for taxation property
in excess of $4,000. George NJ. Dear
mond, the third bondsman, qualified for
$4,000. His property, as assessed on the
auditors books, shows valuation OF
over $1,000. This is good bond and it
is very likely that this sum will have to
20 into the Golfers of the county treasur.
er, for it is believed here that Jones will
never be seen around this county. any

A Boys Crime.

CHICAGO, November ga BirmiDg-
ham, Ala, special says: Information
recahed here last night of fearful trag.
edy near Perida, on the Louisville and
Nashville railway. A half witted boy
named Charley Baller had witnessed the
killing of the family meat. Having been
gone from the house some time one
morning with his brother and sister,
aged respectively four and six, be came
back alone, his clothes covered with
blood, and told his mother he had killed
them, showing sharp butcher knife with
which he had done the work. Following
him to spot in the woods near the
slaughter pen, the mother, sure enough,
found her younger son and daughter
stretched on the ground in pool Of
blood, both with their throats cut. The
girl was dead and the boy barely alive.
While the family were attending them
Charlie disappeared again, and search
being made for him shortly afterward he
was found few steps from the same spot
dead, with his jugular vein severed, evi.
IDENTITY by his own hand. The wounded
boy is mending slowly.

a considerable contest is brewing over
a proposition in the Legislature to re.
apportion the membership Of the several
Counties of this State in the House of
Representatives on the basis of the
population of the State as shown by the
census of 1880. It is claimed by the
advocates of reapportionment that it can

ment to the Constitution adopted at the
the last session of the General Assembly.
The opponents claim that it would be
bad faith to do 80, as it was understood
the amendment was not to apply to the
past but future census, and that but for
this understanding they could and would
have defeated the amendment. The
Counties which will lose are Charleston,
Hampton, Richland, and we believe,
Barnwell. The Counties that gain will

The coming meeting of Congress will
be one of unusual Importance to the
country. 1t is confidently believed and
hoped that the Democratic party will at
last present some scheme to reduce the
surplus in the national treasury, and to
Tighten the burdens of federal taxation.
1t is incumbent on the party, if it wishes
to lay any claim to being the party of
reform, that it should do these two
things. The trouble will come in agree
ing on what is the proper line of expen.
diture for the surplus, and where the
reductions are to be made in the tariff.
1t would not be difficult to distribute the
surplus by a proper appropriation 10
help education in the States, by fair and
adequate harbor and river appropria-
tions, and by the erection of public
buildings in the larger cities and towns
in the interior. By this means the
money now locked up in the treasury
would go where it is most needed-to the
laborers, mechanics and poor children of
the country. Il would put a large sum
of money into circulation, would i'm.
prove our ports and rivers for navigation,
would give employment to thousands OF
workmen, and would educate, elevate
and improve the citizenship of our
country. The best plan of reducing
taxation is more difficult subject, but in
handling it two objects ought.to be kept
steadily in view. The first of these is,
that tbs tariff should be lowered as much
as possible on the necessaries OF life !;
and the second is, that it should ba re-.
moved from those articles which do not
need protection. The trouble is to COM
bine these two principles, and it can
only be done by careful consideration OF
the revenue necessary to be raised, a
knowledge of the condition of the vari-
GUS manufacturing and producing re-
sources of the country, and the needs OF
the nation. The people look to Congress
for this relief, and it is the duty of the
Democratic party to at least try to give
it to them.

The pending Bills to reduce the rate
of interest in this State have not yet been
acted on in either House of the Legisla-.
ture, and their fate is uncertain. In the
Senate the report Of the judiciary COM
mittee last session upon Mr.. Murray's
Bill was unfavorable, and he continued
it to this session, and had ditreferred back
to the committee, which has reported it
favorably this time. twill; however, be
vigorously contested in both Houses, and
it is more than an even chance that it
will fail to command a majority in each
House.

because the pending Bill was too strict

In Atlanta they defeated prohibition

The House of Representatives Of this
State has been working most diligently
this session. They began the session
with over one hundred and sixty bills on
their calendar, brought over from the
last session, and began their work in
earnest on the first day of the term.
They held night session the first night,
and have held one every night since

marked disposition on their part to kill
all measures that came over from the last

The Prohibitionists were defeated in
Atlanta by the negro vote going largely
against them. The majority of the white

whiskey because he loves it, and also
because by SO doing he can go against
the wishes of the majority of the white
